If I’m divorced, how do I get a mobile home out of my name and into my ex-wife’s name?

While filling out divorce papers years back (that have since been filed and finalized) we did not include a new mobile home which is in my name only. Since she had no where to else to live, we agreed that she would live in it and keep up the payments, with the hope that when she established her credit she could get it put into her name. After a long time, she tried and was told she did not have credit established enough to purchase it. Now, after years, it is still in my name. She has paid every payment on time. I do not want the mobile home, nor anything else of hers. I just want it out of my name so it won’t show up on my credit.

You can sign a quitclaim deed which releases your entire right, title, and interest in the mobile home to your ex-wife.  The quitclaim deed is signed in the presence of a notary and becomes effective upon being filed with the County Recorder's Office.
